Your AVR41 is equipped with RDS (Radio
indicator
MEM
Data System), which brings a wide range
of information to FM radio. Now in use
in many countries, RDS is a system for
transmitting station call signs or network
information, a description of station
corresponding to
programme type, text messages about the
station or specifics of a musical selection
and the correct time.
As more FM stations become equipped
MEM
with RDS capabilities, the AVR41 will
serve as an easy-to-use centre for both
information and entertainment. This
section will help you take maximum
advantage of the RDS system.
RDS Tuning
When an FM station is tuned in and it
contains RDS data, the AVR41 will
automatically display the station's call
sign (with some private stations other
text between too). To tune only stations
